Hi Linus72,
dude actually the requirement from the client changedchanged... earlier they said that they need a distro with all modules builtinside the kernel then they said its okk to hv a kernel with loadable modules.
Moreover LLS wants AUFS as module because it looks for aufs.ko
Anyways the new problem is that when i boot from the customerized distro livec it gives me error that "unable to find livecd.sgn"
Can you help about it...???? or do i need to upload my linuxrc script????
hey man
see, the LLS I use has the script initrd_create modified so aufs/squashfs can be inbuilt instead of modules,etc
just please use the source & lls from the kernel kit for x86 arch and your all good http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/...kkit-arch.html

Thanxx bro....
one thing that struck my mind was that there was no entry for cdrom in /proc/sys/dev/
also there was nothing like scd, scd0 or hdc in /dev... that means my cd drive is not being detected... I have an IDE drive... any idea how to tackle this issue???

Hi Linus.... thanks a lot.... dude i saw ur kernel's .config file... I am unable to guess that you have compiled the AUFS module directly into you kernel.. nt as a loadable module.... did it work out....???? coz lls searches for aufs.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.34.1/fs/aufs/aufs.ko

Rep:
one more doubt...
what does
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 directive in .config of kernel does.... wen i was compiling kernel on my own I have to set it to y so that the system boots up with the new kernel if this directive is set to n... it gives a kernel panic....
hey
cant you make a live centos cd using the livecd-tools pkg in centos?
or you just want a new kernel for it?
yeah right here https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/
Incase if it is possible to you... can u make nFluxOS for me which doesnt automaticaaly mounts partiions on hard disk and doesnt has support for usb devices, fat, ntfs, ntfs-3g partitions.
well
that would maybe be hard to do...
in all of mine I use the cheatcode "noauto" so nothing is automounted at bootup combined with the "copy2ram" cheatcode
patch kernel, make menuconfig, put it as you want
then use the LLS from post above
I have downloaded fathoms patches and kernel 2.6.35.4.. nd have applied the patches but there are some folders also in the patch zip file that i downloaded... do i need to replace the files in kernel source with the one that are in the augs folder present in the patch zip....
